The rapid increase of the circulation
of the GLOBE is as gratifying to its man
agement as it will be astonishing to the
public when they see the figures printed
below. The showing is simply marvel
Gus. and has never before been equalleG
by any paper in the Northwest and but
few in the United States. The figures
are based on the circulation of the
GLOBE on Feb. ,, 1885, when the new
management assumed charge. and on
April ,, lsS7-practically up to the pres
ent time. The figures would appear to
better advantage if carried up to this
very isSue-May but This would be
impossible. as there is not time to pre-
pare the tables. There was 10 special
news event to ''boOm'' the circulation
on April 9. The issue was of the ordin-
airy or average character. Therefore the
basis for comparison is a fair and just
one. Ii any business man or anybody
who is seeking to find the best medium
for advertising, doubts the absolute cor

trance is Strikingly attractive. Massive
polished marble pillars flank the door
way on either side, and an immense
globe SurmOuntS the entrance. The
carving of the doors is also in excellent
taste and style, and the whole effect is
to give the person entering or passing
by an impression that the building is
really an honor to the Northwest and an
ornament to St. Paul. An illustration
OF the entrance is printed in this issue,
and two interior views of the business
Office are shown herewith. Everything

The counters, desks and general fur

mansions of the large room afford all
necessary facilities for the transaction

the general public-and the GLOBE will

Identification of Prisoners.

The latest method of identifying
prisoners which has been introduced
into France by NJ. Alphonse Bertillon,
and which is now successfully practiccd
not only in the chief French prisons,
but in Russia and Japan rs well, is the
exact measurement of the prisoner on
his arrival at the Jail. His waist, the
length and width of his head, the left
middle finger, the left foot, the out
stretched arms, the three other fingers
of the left hand, the left arm from the
elbow to the wrist, and the length and
width of the ear are measured, and the
color of the eyes and any particularities
are noted down. A photograph is also
Immediately taken, and by these means

THE MORNING LAND.
Whore the Weary Soul of q Patient Sufferer
Found Eternal Rest.

Whore the Weary Soul of q Patient Sufferer
Found Eternal Rest.
When but mere child on the planta-
ton he heard the old folks telling OF
the Morning Land-a far-away place
where sorrow and trouble were un-
known-where night never came
where humanity rolled off its burdens
never to take them up again. He de-
termined that when he grew older he
would set out in search of the Paradise
which had been so graphically pictured.
When he had older grown he started
on his journey, but he grew hungry and
weary and footsore, and men ridiculed
him and said:
.'There is 10 Morning Land. You
While he abandoned the search for
awhile his convictions as a child could
not be shaken, and he whispered to
himself:
perhaps am not old enough, or
have taken the wrong direction. I will
renew the search by and by"
Sickness and trouble and danger
came to him as he waited. Men argued
with and ridiculed him. They scotfed
at the idea Of the land of rest and
peace, but deep down in his own heart
he felt the conviction that there must
be, and as his burdens of life increased
the somewhat felt that the Morning
Land had come nearer to him. Poor,
| ignorant and lowly, he cherished the
thought as a prisoner for life loves the
| sunbeam which enters his barred VIM
dow to whisper to him of the doings Of
| the great world beyond.
| Once, when sickness and poverty had
almost weighted him down, and his
| troubles seemed greater than he could
| bear, he wavered for a moment in his
belief. He had searched long but vain
! " for the path. He was afraid he must
die without finding it. But it was only
for moment. Then he remembered
the words of a gray-haired exhorter,
spoken fifty years before:
you may hev to wait an wait, but
yer reward shall be all de greater. In
dat Mornin' Land de weary shall be a,
rest'
When he had become old and weak
blindness fell upon him, and many
times his sightless eyes filled with tear
and he whispered to himself:
II have waited and waited but nov
I am blind and I shall never find tn
| Morning Land"
: One summers evening as he sat 4
his doorstep this Thought grew st-o"ge
upon him, and in his loneliness an
amidst his troubles. he sobbcd :.n
ericved like n young child. His eye
were yet tear-tilled when he suddenl
| cried out to the wondering children u
his feet:
II kin see agin! De Lawd has gibel
me back my sightH'
Thcyran away and brought woman
and she came to find him dead in hi
chair.
"See there is a smile on his facet
whispered the children.
"Chilfen,' she replied, rs a grea
. awe fell upon her, "de good Lawd giI
him his sight to see into de Mornin
